Description
The next stop on a wide-eyed bands van tour: New York City. The gig? Well, it really hasnt ended yet. In fact, its just picking up momentum. See, the past band-lives of the four evolved from experimental, indie takes on world and jazz and jam and grunge, into an experimental, indie take on electronics. Now in the big citys limits, their wide eyes have narrowed, focusing on a unique sound that takes the best of their past along with them on their arrival to this next stop.
The guys of Skidmore Fountain know how to make an entrance, too. Within months on the scene, in an article coinciding with a show at the Tribeca Rock Club, amNewYork, a free daily with circulation of nearly half-a-million, stated Skidmore Fountain is settling into the local scene nicely. Gigs started piling up at the Knitting Factory, Pianos and Arlenes Grocery. And the more they play, the harder it is to stop.
Topu Lyo redefines the string instrument as he plays on one of the worlds
only five-string electric cellos. Armed with a style described by TK as a
new breed of progressive cellists-a mix of Tom Morello, Dave Holland and
Charles Mingus, Topu introduces a new element to the dance/rock sound.
While Topu has extensive classical and jazz backgrounds, which has sent him
playing throughout North America, Europe and Asia, he exercises an
adventurous spirit in music, mixing electronics and his instrument in
unexpected ways.
Steven Cohen is the man behind the guitar and occasional vocals. No ordinary
strummer, Steve developed his trademark sound by developing his knowledge of
jazz and classical styles into a new language in rock. The kind and goofy
gent has traveled with his riffs throughout the United States and Mexico.
When hes not wearing his Skidmore Fountain hat, Steve is busy teaching
guitar. (make live link on teaching guitar)
Randy M. Bergida is more than just that pretty face and indie-meets-dreamy
voice. The smiley singer harbors no fear with his range, lyrics and
dance-inducing rhythms. Melody and synco(wait for it)pation fill Skidmore
Fountains whimsical-and admittedly autobiographical-songs, which take
listeners on a poignant, vicarious journey. Randy busts out his bass all the
time and has even been known to whip up a hip-hop beat on a flute-for
special occasions, anyway.
Dylan Wissing, drummer extraordinaire, joins Skidmore Fountain after playing
pretty much every type of music under the sun. He co-founded and was the
longtime drummer of indie rock/ska legends Johnny Socko. Dylan has played
over 2,000 shows coast to coast with Johnny Socko, with songs appearing on
MTV, Adam Sandlers Eight Crazy Nights, and the radio, nationwide. Hes
performed with Grammy-nominee Mariano Morales Salsa Orchestra and most
recently toured with the UK singer/songwriter Julia Jones. Hes got his own
beat for sure but says hes a rock drummer with his influences in funk, R&B,
reggae and West African pop. Dylan proudly endorees GMS drums, Sabian
cymbals, Aquarian Drumheads, Pro-Mark Sticks and XL Specialty Percussion
cases.
